Best ft trainer withc pack

[.WARHAWK.]

hi , i want to build a trainer from the ft series plans . Which one is the best 4 ch one , considering that I have a turnighy d 3530/14 https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-d3530-14-1100kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html?___store=en_us ( c pack equivalent ) with an 12x6 prop ?

(P.S.) i want it to have a Very low stall speed

The Simple Storch comes to mind. You could put flaps on it and even leading edge slats and it'll fly at walking pace. That's a lot of motor and prop tho.

This is the FT video on it.

The scout would be a good option as well but wouldn't fly as slow as the Storch.

Oh, and what battery you using? That 12x6 prop on that motor is listed for 2s. You'd want a 10x4.5 or something on 3s.

I have a 3 cell battery ... do I need to buy a new prop ?

If you put that 12 inch prop on that motor, it'll draw a lot of amps causing the motor/ESC to get hot. With a 3s battery I would go with a 1045 prop. They have them on the FliteTest store for like $6.

will any 10 4<6 prop work ?

 

[kdobson83]

I mean, as long as it's an electric prop. Don't wanna use a gas or nitro prop. Most cheaper plastic props are fine. And yeah, I'd go with any 1045 prop. You probably Wana stick with ccw tho as any plane with thrust angle built into it will most likely require ccw props to work correctly. I don't think any of FT designs have thrust angle except for the minis.

Long story short, yes. Any prop thats a 10x4 to 10x4.5 should work fine.
